[Verse 1:] I loved I lost I swung I missed And still kept playing You my heart And by default You're still standing And you can pat me my back And send me on my way You'll see me smile But all the while I'm torn up
[Hook:] And I don't wish you pain (pain) But don't wish you well (well) 'Cause you deserve the reign (reign) To see it fails
[Chorus:] When you learn how to love You're gonna cry for me But it's gonna be too late It's gonna be too When you learn how to love You're gonna breathe for me But it's gonna be too late It's gonna be late When you learn how to love
[Verse 2:] You knew me But still it felt You were my stranger My tears you swam across To let me down And through the fog I thought I saw your helping hand But my eyes closed And it felt a broken heart
[Chorus]
[Bridge:] All you might have loved You'll never know till it's gone So far baby Now all you got is your Tear drops on your needy heart So cry for me
